Qingzhou.

Just when Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan set off to negotiate with Cao Cao.

Ma Teng and Kong Rong were talking secretly in a tent at this time.

Ma Teng looked at Kong Rong and said.

"You obviously know that what Liu Bei said is right, and at the moment, just a few of us can't control Qingzhou at all."

"Even if the Eastern Han Dynasty sends reinforcements over, we can only barely take it, and it will be difficult to defend the back. What are you going to do, since you have convinced you, now you can say the reason. ”

Kong Rong said at this time.

"Alas! Gongsun Chan is from Yuan Shao's side. ”

Ma Teng was surprised at this time.

"What do you mean, Brother Gongsun is Yuan Shao's person, how is it possible."

Kong Rong nodded at this time and said.

"When I was given the news, I didn't believe it at first, but then I checked it and it was."

Ma Teng asked at this time.

"Where did the news come from, is it reliable?"

Kong Rong said.

"He Jin gave it to me over there, it's reliable."

Ma Teng asked suspiciously at this time.

"Could it be He Jin's discord plan over there, let us hold Cao Cao's men and horses here."

Kong Rong thought for a moment and said.

"That's what I thought at first. But then I found out that Qingzhou is not as simple as we imagined. ”

"There are not only Cao Cao's people here, but also Yuan Shao's people, and He Jin's people. I may have been used as a pawn. ”

"As for why I am so determined to win Qingzhou, I just want to break this game of chess."

At this time, Ma Teng said with a frown.

"Since Gongsun Chan is Yuan Shao's person, what about Liu Bei, what's going on with this."

Kong Rong said lightly.

"He's just a thug who came over from Gongsun Chan, he doesn't necessarily know this, I feel that Gongsun Chan is using him."

At this time, Ma Teng said.

"No wonder Gongsun Chan wants to negotiate with Cao Cao, the co-authors are all their people."

At this time, Kong Rong shook his head and said.

"This time, you may be mistaken, they may not be in a group."

At this time, Ma Teng was even more puzzled, what Kong Rong said, he couldn't understand now.

Then he asked.

"Yuan Shao and Cao Cao aren't allies, why aren't they together."

Kong Rong said.

"Maybe it was before, but it may not be now, Yuan Shao lost on the Yanzhou side, he may not let Cao Cao take Qingzhou, and He Jin is also there, so the only person we can cooperate with now is actually He Jin, what do you think."

At this time, Ma Teng can be said to be even more confused.

So many people popped up at once, which made him a little unbelievable for a while, and he began to doubt Kong Rong's words now. Because he didn't find anything on his side.

And why did He Jin give the news to Kong Rong, which is very surprising, not to others.

At this time, Ma Teng suddenly asked.

"Brother Kong, you tell me the truth, are you the one who He Jin."

At this time, Kong Rong was silent. Then he thought for a moment and continued.

"Ma Teng knows too many things, it's not good."

Ma Teng's pupils contracted at this time, and it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

Kong Rong is He Jin's person, and he was deceived by him to be cannon fodder. This made Ma Teng a little unacceptable for a while.

These people are all old foxes, and he can play.

It is estimated that only himself and Liu Bei are the most confused people now.

Seeing Ma Teng's expression, Kong Rong said at this time.

"Don't worry, Matteon. Things are not as complicated as you think, it's not that who is who, it's just cooperation, some things, I can't tell you for the time being, just follow me, the two of us have been friends for so many years, if you want to hurt you, you will already be harmed, you say. ”

Ma Teng felt a little better at this time, indeed he had been friends with Kong Rong for many years, and he really wanted to harm himself, so he probably had already acted, so he didn't have to wait for today.

looked at Kong Rong and said.

"I'll leave everything to Brother Kong."

Kong Rong said lightly.

"Don't worry."

Just when Qingzhou was walking around in secret.

This side of Yuzhou.

Lin Chuan and the others can be said to have not closed their eyes for several days, and they have been dealing with the problem of displaced people outside Yuzhou Pass.

It can be said that the number of people has been increasing these days, and there have been several fights between these people to get in.

It's crazy.

Lin Chuan had to give an order to kill directly, and in the past two days, there have been fights outside the gates. The death toll is rising.

Lin Chuan felt that he might be targeted, it was obvious that those people were bewitched.

Otherwise they wouldn't have been that crazy.

At this time, Lin Chuan and the others were holding a meeting in the office building of Yuzhou Academy.

Lin Chuan said directly.

"In the past few days, you should all know about the skirmishes outside Yuzhou Pass, it's not a way to keep killing, what good solutions do you have."

At this time, Cai Yong said.

"Lord, it's very strange at this time, and it's a bit difficult to solve, so now we can only solve those who take the lead in making trouble."

"If we really want to solve it completely, I guess we have to deal with all those mobs first."

Guo Jia also said at this time.

"That's true, Cai is right, this matter is very strange, and it is a bit difficult to solve."

Lin Chuan said with a frown at this time.

"It seems that we have to solve the problem of the source first, the problem of riots."

"Looks like someone is targeting us, they don't want to make us so comfortable, they have to find something for us to do."

"Outside the gate, send more city guards over, and the other troops will not move, in case there are internal problems."

Everyone said.

"Yes, my lord."

Cai Yong said at this time.

"By the way, my lord, recently, there have been some changes in Qingzhou, and Cao Cao's men and horses are constantly increasing troops over there, and I feel that something big is happening."

Lin Chuan was surprised at this time.

"Reinforcements? The riot over there in Yongzhou has been resolved. ”

Cai Yong said at this time.

"No, Cao Cao drove the mob together and left them to fend for themselves. So he can mobilize a little more troops. ”

Lin Chuan asked at this time.

"Over there in Qingzhou, whose troops are over there."

Cai Yong said at this time.

"Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Gongsun Zhan, Ma Teng, Liu Bei, it seems that Yuan Shao and He Jin's men and horses are also over there."

Lin Chuan was surprised at this time.

"Liu Bei?"

Cai Yong said at this time.

"Lord, what's wrong, what's wrong with this Liu Bei. I've checked him, it's just an ordinary small force. ”

Lin Chuan said at this time.

"This person is not simple, don't underestimate him, just send someone to keep an eye on him."

Can it be simple, one of the top overlords of the Three Kingdoms in the future is a little downtrodden now, but it doesn't mean that the future is the same.

It's not a bad thing to send someone to keep an eye on it now, at least you can know this person's movements.

Lin Chuan said again at this time.

"Over there in Qingzhou, you just keep an eye on it, we don't mix, at the moment our focus is to keep Yuzhou."

Everyone said.

"Yes, my lord."

At the same time, Luoyang here.

He Jin and Dong Zhuo were discussing the secret.

Dong Zhuo looked at He Jin at this time and asked.

"You're getting involved in Qingzhou, it's best not to end up. Our focus now is on Luoyang. There's no need to focus on that side. You should understand. ”

He Jing said lightly at this time.

"The Qingzhou side is just a layout of mine many years ago. It's fine, it won't affect our plans, don't worry. That Cao Cao wants to take the entire Qingzhou, it's not that easy, I won't let him go so smoothly. If it were you, you would let Cao Cao take Qingzhou. ”

Dong Zhuo was silent at this time and did not speak. If it were him, it is estimated that he would make the same choice as He Jin, and he would not let Cao Cao take Qingzhou so easily.

The best result was that Cao Cao could not succeed.

Dong Zhuo asked again at this time.

"Then you are somewhat sure that you will not let Cao Cao take Qingzhou."

He Jin stopped by at this time.

"It's only about forty percent, the only thing I'm not sure about is the situation on Yuan Shao's side. Will it have the same idea as me, stopping Cao Cao from seizing Qingzhou. ”

Dong Zhuo received it at this time.

"I think Yuan Shao should have the same choice as us, and he won't let Cao Cao take Qingzhou. After all, Yuan Shao failed on the Yanzhou side. He wouldn't just let that Cao Cao take Qingzhou. ”

He Jin shook his head at this time and said.

"There are some things that are hard to say now, and no one knows until the last minute. If it's not good, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have already joined forces. They presumably deliberately lead people through in the next set. I think there will be a lot of people interested. ”

Dong Zhuo said with a frown at this time.

"It's not impossible to think about it now. But if that's really what you think. Those two people are terrible, but I think. They may not join forces. ”

He Jin said with a smile at this time.

"Do you want us to gamble, Brother Dong Zhuo."

Dong Zhuo also said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I can't ask for it. How to gamble? ”

He Jin said at this time.

"If Cao Cao and Yuan Shao join forces, then the affairs of Luoyang will be led by me. If the two of them don't join forces, then I'll leave it to you. ”

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, I will agree to this request. I don't think I'm going to lose, by all indications. That Yuan Shao's men and horses are all blocking the people on Cao Cao's side, I'm afraid you will miscalculate this time, Brother He Jin. ”

He Jin didn't speak, just looked at Dong Zhuo lightly and said.

"I hope you don't regret it then."

Dong Zhuo said with a smile.

"Don't worry, it won't."

He Jin suddenly asked again at this time.

"This riot problem may affect the autumn harvest problem in the later states. An even bigger food crisis could follow. I don't know how many people will die by then. ”

Dong Zhuo also said at this time.

"Who knows? It's up to those people to think and what to do with the mob. To kill or not to kill. It seems that the people behind this have given them a problem. If they kill too much, they may lose their popularity, and if they don't kill, more people may die later. It's a hard question to decide. ”

He Jin suddenly asked at this time.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Dong Zhuo was silent at this time and did not speak. He didn't know either, because it was an unsolvable answer, and whatever he chose was wrong.

Those people are ordinary people, and they are also a group of innocent people. It's just that they all embarked on a road just to survive. If you can stay at home and have enough to eat. Who would do such a thing, isn't this looking for death?

So a lot of things actually happen for a reason. Some things don't happen, one or two problems arise, and there may be more reasons behind this.

At the same time, Qingzhou's side.

Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan's people successfully connected with Cao Cao's people.

The two sides also officially began negotiations.

Liu Bei asked at this time.

"Let's not say hello, let's get straight to it. I don't know what conditions you can give us. ”

The representative of Cao Cao's side said.

"We will give you a lot of supplies, but the territory here in Qingzhou can't give it to you."

At this time, Liu Bei said with a frown.

"This is impossible, the purpose of our coming here is to seize some territory, and you don't know, if you don't give a place, you can't say it, then I don't think today's negotiations are necessary."

The representative of Cao Cao's side said again at this time.

"You should know very well that even if we give you some places, you may not be able to keep them. In that case, wouldn't it be better for us to give you something affordable, such as supplies? You have to see the reality clearly, and you have to see yourself clearly, what do you think? ”

Liu Bei said at this time.

"It's impossible, I won't agree, and neither will our group of people. At least give us some land. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it. ”

At this time, the representative of Cao Cao's side said with a smile.

"Liu Bei, there may be some things you haven't figured out yet. Ask the person next to you if you agree. ”

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan in surprise at this time, he was a little panicked, he didn't understand why the representative from Cao Cao's side said this.

At this time, Liu Bei heard Gongsun Zhan's voice.

"I'm sorry Brother Liu, I agree to your proposal, don't want land, ask for supplies."

At this time, Liu Bei suddenly figured out something.

Gongsun Zhan, it seems that he is from here.

Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zhan at this time and said.

"Brother Gongsun, why are you lying to me?"

At this time, Gongsun Chan said.

"Alas, I didn't lie, Brother Liu, everyone is just trying to survive."

Liu Bei asked again at this time.

"Were you the one who Cao Cao was from the beginning?"

Gongsun Chan said at this time.

"I'm not anyone's person. It's just that there is some cooperation with Cao Cao's side. You should understand. In the current situation, you can only cooperate with them. In addition, let me tell you a few more things, that Kong Rong and He Jin are also in a cooperative relationship. Even if you go back now. They may not let you go, you should understand. You can only stay now. ”

At this time, Liu Bei had a deep sense of powerlessness.

Slumped in his chair and said.

"I understand."
